As a Russian this gives me goosebumps. It's hard to believe there was a time when this type of songs was sung across the Europe. Irish, Scandinavian, Spanish, Italian, Greek folk songs are great.
American here. We were at a wine festival in Wiesbaden Germany. The locals were teaching us some songs, and all we had in return was the theme to Gilligan's Island. We just don't have the history for folk songs, I guess.
@@edwardskeva9307 At least you made the effort to come back to the motherland. All Europeans are Indo-European brothers and sisters....even those that live in the states, Canada, Australia etc.
So me, a rogue bard, popped this up on a piano on a pub in Oxford (Half Moon, Cowley Road) and a group of oldies just up and left. The barmaid (who did not want to date me) and the other Irish fella (brickie doing the rounds) feckin' loved it. Crackin' afternoon!
I'm a young Black Dude from Baltimore, Md, USA and I LOVE LOVE LOVE Irish Folk Music. THIS WAS STRAIGHT DOPE. Props to these dudes for their vocal talents and love to my Irish Fam.
@@eimhearodalaigh7714 okay, i think your brother Kevin? is looks like Daniel Radcliff? its so nice but its very nice to see the group singing. best greets
There's something mystical that happens when enough people speak in unison: The voice that comes forth is almost always the same one, like some ancient, invisible beast invoked by chanting all together, channeling the voices of the entire choir to make itself heard. I call this beast the spirit of The Crowd, myself. It's a wild, fickle one.
'Tis a wonder, and I swear, this sounds like something fake, a story woven round some fantastical story, yet, it's true, and I love how you articulated this. Imagine some movie narrator like Morgan Freeman reading your words to set up the story.
As a west virginian hillbilly, folk music is transcendant of cultures. Everyone can recognize soul and feeling. Everything from sea chanties to bluegrass to irish folk, its all the same. We all worked the same dirt, got the same blisters, and drank the same liquor at the end of the day
If you ever go to Ireland, you will see how similar some of the land lays, but more importantly, those rock fences you have everywhere? So IRISH!! So many Irish settled in WVA!!
Ireland has so many connections to Appalachia when it comes to music and culture. So many Irish immigrants settled in the area and brought their traditions with them
@@MuayThai_Don Some can be Caucasian and be from other parts of Europe, Africa, South Asia and the Americas. Open your mind. You do not have to be Irish to learn, sing and play Irish melodies. You do not have to be any ethnicity in Ireland to appreciate or take part in when it comes to Irish music, it is there for all. That is the point. Listen to the words of the songs and you will understand.
You singled people out based on how they look. Maybe next time you should elaborate a bit more on what you are trying to convey. Please do type back...it tickles :P
This is the first version of this song I've been able to understand all the words. With this many people singing it that is amazing! So clear! And all concerts should take place in a pub.
That final chord is perfection. Beautiful music throughout, and I love the back and forth between sections. But that final chord is always my favorite. Really brings it home.
OH MY LORD WAS THAT GORGEOUS!!! I've loved Irish, Scottish and British Isles music all my life but had never heard of this group...clicked just on a whim and HOLY GUINNESS that was incredible. I didn't want it to end!!!
... it's nice that they all look at each other with every single note change like they did a magic trick. "Yeah, you hear that? It's different than before. Notice that?"
Went to the Westcoast of Ireland in 2019 with my Brother on a roadtrip and felt in Love with this beautiful Island. Nice and friendly people, beautiful landscape, loveley music. Can't wait to visit it again with my Girlfriend, who traveld to Ireland two times. Greeting and happy St. Patricksday from Frankfurt, Germany.
I love you boys so much thank you... watched this with many tears flowing with a stubby of Guinness in Australia. Probably evoked ancestral memories... Beautiful voices 😘 Thank you so much for sharing 💞
Gratuliere! Der The Ramparts-Kammer-Chor hat ein einzigartiges Repertoire von Liedern - inbesondere die traditionellen irischen Lieder, die ich sehr gerne höre.
lived in Dublin Ireland over 8 years for uni. one of the most beautiful cities to live in. its love grows onto you and the Irish people are so friendly. hopefully will go back again soon.
I would LOVE to walk into a pub in Ireland and find this. I’m from Cornwall and we have a similar tradition with the Pub Shout. It’s coming back in a big way, walking into a Cornish pub and hearing folk songs, shanties, traditional Cornish songs etc. It’s the most amazing feeling to be part of a shout and especially to lead on a few songs. Just brilliant.
I almost never comment, but I randomly picked this rendition of rocky road to Dublin and was absolutely not disappointed. First time I've seen an a capella version, but I like it.
I have been spoon fed on this great music all of my 62 years .born in Dublin as I was it makes me very honoured to be Irish in a humble way. I love our music. When you hear it you know immediately it's Irish. Erin go bragh. 🇮🇪🍺👍🇮🇪.
Loved the complexity of the changing rhythms, harmonies and dynamics in this and all performed with real pleasure by the singers. A joy to listen to. Reminds me of some sea shanties as well. Thanks for uploading!
I'm so lucky that I can listen to this music on my sofa thanks to internet my ancestors would've to travel all the way to a pub in Ireland from India. Also glad that two Indian folks ( I assume) are part of this which shows that it's a welcoming society. Good luck 🇮🇪🇮🇳
I discovered your choir through Park Bo-gum's TV show and was deeply moved. I hope to visit Dublin one day to experience your performance live. Your director is truly an amazing and inspiring person. The stories of your lives resonate with me profoundly. Thank you.
Okay,.... started with Nordic Viking music and now made my way to Ireland with this gem!... Love this cultural train ride im on. Can't wait to see whats next, but forgive me as I stay here a while!...
A week ago today I visited Stag's Head and had a pint for you all! First time in Ireland, I cried on my last day, I didn't want to leave. Such an amazingly beautiful country full of the kindest people you'll ever meet. See you in Dublin soon.
While in the merry month of May, from me home I started Left the girls of Tuam so sad and broken hearted Saluted father dear, kissed me darling mother Drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother Then off to reap the corn, leave where I was born Cut a stout black thorn to banish ghosts and goblins Bought a pair of brogues rattling o'er the bogs And fright'ning all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin One, two, three, four, five, Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road All the way to Dublin, whack follol de rah In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary Started by daylight next morning blithe and early Took a drop of pure to keep me heart from sinking That's a Paddy's cure whenever he's on drinking See the lassies smile, laughing all the while At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a bubblin' Asked me was I hired, wages I required I was almost tired of the rocky road to Dublin One, two, three, four, five Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road All the way to Dublin, whack follol de rah In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity To be soon deprived a view of that fine city So then I took a stroll, all among the quality Me bundle it was stole, all in a neat locality Something crossed me mind, when I looked behind No bundle could I find upon me stick a wobblin' Inquiring for the rogue, they said me Connaught brogue Wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin One, two, three, four, five Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road All the way to Dublin, whack follol de rah From there I got away, me spirits never falling Landed on the quay, just as the ship was sailing The Captain at me roared, said that no room had he When I jumped aboard, a cabin found for Paddy Down among the pigs, played some hearty rigs Danced some hearty jigs, the water round me bubbling When off Holyhead, I wished meself was dead Or better for instead on the rocky road to Dublin One, two, three, four, five Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road All the way to Dublin, whack follol de rah Well, the boys of Liverpool, when we safely landed Called meself a fool, I could no longer stand it Blood began to boil, temper I was losing Poor old Erin's Isle they began abusing "Hurrah me soul" says I, me Shillelagh I let fly Some Galway boys were nigh and saw I was a hobble in With a load "Hurray" joined in the affray We quietly cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin One, two, three, four, five Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road And all the way to Dublin, whack follol de rah
Imagine a group of men, tired, knees, hands, backs and feet hurting for working at the docs, at the end of the day a beer (or more than one) and this song just brings their souls and joy back for the next day...aye!
Considering your name , I have a question for you : when the apocalypse comes , ie the devastation of mankind , as the credits roll on the human race , what song would you like to hear playing ? I have 2 songs in mind , but I would like to know your thoughts on this.....
@@mikeyates7931 I cant lie thats a tough question there sir, i would say Beethoven´s ode to joy (movement 4 obviously) but i dont know how proper that song would be, its just my favourite song. As a "credit roll" song, maybe Bob Dylan´s rendition of Maggie´s farm that was performed at folk fest when he first started playing electric guitar would be better, the lyrics perfectly describe a person that has had quite literally enough and decides to just say "f it". Also i think it would be better a song that has that energy to it instead of a sad balad like for example hurt performed by Jhonny Cash. You know, the whole "do not go gentle into that good night" energy i think would represent the human spirit better than a song that would just b sad.
I use to think I was weird for wanting to learn Scottish gaelic since I'm latino and a bunch of other things but im seeing now that I'm blessed with an artist's mind. Art is everywhere and in every culture. LOVE this song. Beautifully composed and will be learning all parts. Love you Ireland
First viking music, then sea shanties, now irish pub music. I like this train I'm on
Same here
been there since 2008 and never managed to leave
glad im not alone
Same 🤣🤣
That's exactly how I got here, looks like we are on the same train.
Sitting in a pub, drinking a pint, and hearing The Ramparts perform an Irish folk song just made the top of my bucket list.
The only way I can see of making this happen is spending the rest of my life in Dublin pubs and hoping
That's a worthy bucket list item!
I got Chillzzz. 💚
Same!! No doubt I could fall in love with Ireland 💚
what do you think of : entering a pub, order a pint and then hearing them ?

The best version I've heard ,the harmonising,I can hear every word,but it is often sung in a faster tempo
While in the merry month of May, from me home I started
Left the girls of Tuam so sad and broken hearted
Saluted father dear, kissed me darling mother
Drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother
Then off to reap the corn, leave where I was born
Cut a stout black thorn to banish ghosts and goblins
Bought a pair of brogues rattling o'er the bogs
And fright'ning all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three, four, five,
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
All the way to Dublin, whack follol de rah
In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary
Started by daylight next morning blithe and early
Took a drop of pure to keep me heart from sinking
That's a Paddy's cure whenever he's on drinking
See the lassies smile, laughing all the while
At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a bubblin'
Asked me was I hired, wages I required
I was almost tired of the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
All the way to Dublin, whack follol de rah
In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity
To be soon deprived a view of that fine city
So then I took a stroll, all among the quality
Me bundle it was stole, all in a neat locality
Something crossed me mind, when I looked behind
No bundle could I find upon me stick a wobblin'
Inquiring for the rogue, they said me Connaught brogue
Wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
All the way to Dublin, whack follol de rah
From there I got away, me spirits never falling
Landed on the quay, just as the ship was sailing
The Captain at me roared, said that no room had he
When I jumped aboard, a cabin found for Paddy
Down among the pigs, played some hearty rigs
Danced some hearty jigs, the water round me bubbling
When off Holyhead, I wished meself was dead
Or better for instead on the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
All the way to Dublin, whack follol de rah
Well, the boys of Liverpool, when we safely landed
Called meself a fool, I could no longer stand it
Blood began to boil, temper I was losing
Poor old Erin's Isle they began abusing
"Hurrah me soul" says I, me Shillelagh I let fly
Some Galway boys were nigh and saw I was a hobble in
With a load "Hurray" joined in the affray
We quietly cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the way to Dublin, whack follol de rah
*While in the merry month of June* sorry it kinda was annoying

As a "credit roll" song, maybe Bob Dylan´s rendition of Maggie´s farm that was performed at folk fest when he first started playing electric guitar would be better, the lyrics perfectly describe a person that has had quite literally enough and decides to just say "f it". Also i think it would be better a song that has that energy to it instead of a sad balad like for example hurt performed by Jhonny Cash. You know, the whole "do not go gentle into that good night" energy i think would represent the human spirit better than a song that would just b sad.
I listen to this over and over.
I use to think I was weird for wanting to learn Scottish gaelic since I'm latino and a bunch of other things but im seeing now that I'm blessed with an artist's mind. Art is everywhere and in every culture. LOVE this song. Beautifully composed and will be learning all parts. Love you Ireland
Yesyesyes my brother!
Make sure you don't mix up gaidhlig(scottish) and Gaeilge (irish)! Two different language

I love the Stags Head and have watched this about 10 times. You guys are so talented as a group!!! I look forward to seeing more content🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
I would definitely be crying of the joy of being an Irish, even if I am Turkish. Love from Turkey!
A very beautiful song with meaning and soulful performance. I can't stop listening to this (from Russia, Siberia)
The word 'superb' doesn't even come close.
Kind words Ed! Thank you :)

I once sat in a tavern with a friend, after the 12th beer we started singing old folk songs and the other people applauded us
